Straight answers

Rotator cuff questions people ask

Can a rotator cuff tear heal without surgery? +
Partial tears and tendon damage often respond to non-surgical, regenerative care. Complete, retracted tears usually need surgical repair. Your MRI gives the real answer — and a physician reviews it for free.
My MRI shows a rotator cuff tear — does that rule me out? +
Not necessarily. Partial tears and tendinopathy are among the situations we most often help with. The type and size of the tear determine your options, which is exactly what the free imaging review is for.
What about shoulder tendonitis or bursitis? +
Rotator cuff tendonitis and related soft-tissue shoulder pain are common reasons patients come to us. We'll assess honestly whether non-surgical care is a fit.
What will it cost? +
The consultation is always free, and it's $0 if there's no medical need. Treatment, if you're a candidate, is self-pay and quoted only after the physician reviews your case.
Do you take insurance? +
These services are generally self-pay, as insurance typically doesn't cover them. We'll walk you through the costs during your free consultation.
